BB50KD5- $8.99 .com renewal. It says "The promotional code you entered requires a minimum $40.00 purchase of eligible products. Spend $30.83 more to save." But I didnt have to do that, was charged $8.99 + $0.18 only.

Was trying to renew 2 .com and 1 .net names. None of the codes on this page or the previous page are working for me anymore on renewals as of 4/02/2014 3:00 AM pacific time.

I get either 'code is expired or inactive' or 'not applicable to the products being purchased' error messages.

But at checkout it's automatically showing $4.18 off full price of $14.99 /year on the .com renewal and $5.35 off the full list price of $16.99 on the .net renewal without entering any coupons or codes.

I don't know what the heck GoDaddy did, but not a single one of these codes, recently commented on or in the main list worked for my domain renewal and private reg today. I'm about to have to pay full price. You've let me down, guys.

I'm considering transfering to HostGator for $7.95. Anyone knows how long the actual process takes? They mentioned it's about 5-7 days.I just renewed some .net domains. None of these codes worked. I wish I'd looked into HostGator before purchasing. Oh well, I guess I'll revisit in two years.

HostGator is way too expensive! There's no $7.95 domains there. You can only buy your 1st domain for $12.95 and the rest starting from $15.95. Also .ca domains are double the price of GoDaddy.Even without the coupons, GoDaddy is much cheaper than HostGator. Having said that, I buy my domains from GoDaddy and host them at HostGator because their hosting is much better than GoDaddy's.

I had some junk domains that I didn't feel like paying full price at GoDaddy to renew since I couldn't find a decent coupon so I decided to transfer them out of GoDaddy to namesilo.com using the coupon code buckoff so the transfers cost $7.39 icann fees included.

I have never used namesilo but the interface looks okay and worth checking out for the price.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely give it a try. Looks good and cheaper than GoDaddy.

So my domain is expiring today, do I have time to transfer for $7.39?Also, what happens if l let me domain expires, can I get it back after waiting 80 days or so with .99 promotions. I don't really care, if someone happen to take it away. What is the best way to try to get it back once I let it expire?

looks good, thanks. this is what I like as quoted from NameSilo:

Domain Renewals (all prices are per domain, per year)We never charge more for renewing a domain than it would cost to register that domain (with the exception of .mobi)! No tricks to get you in the door as a customer and then raise the prices to keep your domains with us as is the case with many of our competitors.

You should have time to transfer the domain if the domain has not expired yet, they like you to do it within a week of expiration but it should go through as long as GoDaddy has not put the domain into a expired locked status. The transfers that I did to namesilo took about 30 minutes to complete so the process is pretty much streamlined and straightforward. I followed these steps to make the process simple.

1. Created an account on namesilo.com2. Logged into my GoDaddy account and launched the Domain Manager on the domain you want to transfer.3. Under DOMAIN SETTINGS manage the LOCK setting and unlock the domain so it can be transferred. (I think GoDaddy has them locked by default)4. Scroll down to the AUTHORIZATION CODE section at the bottom and have it email you the authorization code. (You use this code to initiate the transfer on namesilo)5. Once you receive the authorization code, log into name silo and select the TRANSFER tab.6. Put your domain name in the transfer a single domain and click search.7. Put in the authorization code that GoDaddy emailed you and click Transfer these domains.8. At this point I believe you pay for the domain transfer using the code buckoff it should be $7.39 9. You will receive an email from GoDaddy about the transfer and you need to click the approve link in the email. 10. It will log you into your GoDaddy account and you can either approve or deny the transfer. Approve it if you want to allow the transfer to go through.11. You then should get an email from namesilo and you go to your account there and accept the transfer and it is done.

It sounds like a long process but the back and forth emails are there to protect your domain from just anyone initiating a transfer so although it seems like a hassle it is a good thing all around.The emails that they send are not confusing and they explain the whole process. Since you already used the authorization code in the initial transfer and have unlocked the domain at GoDaddy, godday will allow the transfer to take place and it will only take about a half of an hour for the whole process to work it's way through and you will see the domain name in your namesilo account.

As far as what happens if you don't renew at GoDaddy, well a few things can happen. GoDaddy may put a grace period on it, I have had an expired domain sit for about 30 days with no action happen to it but I wouldn't count on that since GoDaddy is all about making money so they may put a price tag on that grace period, if the domain goes defunct it may end up in the available domain pool so you can acquire it again or one of those domain squatting companies may buy it up and then charge you a premium price to buy it back. I haven't let a domain expire in awhile or looked them back up when they do so the process could be different these days, I am sorry that I don't have any current information on that situation for you. Perhaps some other people on here can chime in and let us know about their experiences with expired GoDaddy domains.
